The appearance of the site and the design of its elements play one of the most important roles in promoting it and attracting users. But not every webmaster has the talent of an artist and owns computer graphics, and even more so, not everyone can afford to order a design from web studios. Then free templates for websites come to the rescue, which can be found freely available in a huge number and for every taste. The easiest way to consider the installation of a template is the CMS Joomla example.
It is necessary
Computer, reliable and fast Internet access, installed on the hosting CMS Joomla and several published articles and comments to test the work of the template
Instructions
Step 1
Find and download from the web a template suitable for your site. Remember that the template should be themed and not overloaded with various multimedia elements. First of all, look for a shell for your site in the thematic sections, for example "News Site" or "Portal", and then you should pay attention to the section "Premium Templates", which can be applied to most sites and they will be very attractive to users
Step 2
Log in to the admin panel. In the menu item "Installation" select the sub-item "Site Templates" (Installers - Site Templates). In the dialog box that appears, select "Install a new template", then in the download window of the installation package, click "Browse" and find the previously downloaded archive with the necessary files on your computer. Click on "Download and Install" and wait for the download to complete. Next, the uploaded template must be published
Step 3
In the menu item "Site Templates" (Site - Templates - Site Templates or Site - Templates - Site Templates) select the downloaded template and click the "Default" button. Now this template will be listed by default as the main site design.
